Next to me

Hanoi Moment

I just returned home from sending you off at the airport. It is quiet here and I am missing you. It is hard thinking of you sitting back in your seat and closing your eyes now as you prepare for the long journey ahead and to know that you will be further and further away from me with every passing minute. But anyway, I have to be strong and focus on matters at hand: work, taking care of life's daily necessities and of course the positive things as well, which include starting to make plans for our next meeting in Brazil in late June. Two months without seeing you and without being able to be with you will feel very long. But at least if we pass this difficult period, we will have many nice things to look forward to. Brazil will be a whole new world for me and I am already very excited about discovering your country with you. Then there is August when you will be back here in Asia with me for the whole month and many occasions this autumn to be shared together in Europe. It will be lovely. In the meantime, despite the distance, you will be next to me always wherever I am, in my heart and in my mind, keeping me from being lonely.
